I am considering moving from Windows to Linux.  (Mostly because of repeated
reinstalls of Windows, etc.)  However, only one of our systems here has a
CD-ROM drive.  I have been told that it is possible to make up disks for
the basic system, and install from that.

Question:  Is it possible to install across PLIP, if I can get a basic
system installed?  And how would I go about setting this up?  (Not to
mention, how would I go about making up the basic system disks?)

I'm going with RH51 because the bugs in that are known, and fixes are
available.  This comes with a book, 'Using Linux', along with Caldera
OpenLinux & SmartSuite (or StarOffice, can't remember which one)...
